This summer, we made some big changes to how users view the terms they're studying and how they see their progress over time. We've just launched a new design for the set page (as well as some useful new features) and now we want your feedback! The set page has been a core part of the Quizlet study experience for years and we want to make sure that any changes we make only improve your experience. Please tell us what you think!

Is it easy to understand?

Do you find the new features useful?

What (if anything) would you miss about the old set page?

Are there other features that would improve this page for you?

What's New

Most missed terms – Your new set page will automatically reorder your terms to show the ones you need to study the most at the top.

Progress tracking – See your progress in Quizlet's different study modes. A high score in Scatter, half-way through Speller, or an A+ in Test will now show on your set page.

Star a subset of terms – A few months ago we added the option to star terms in Cards and now you can take those starred terms into any other mode. Star terms directly from the set page or within cards mode.

Multiple formatting options – Study your terms in grid view or list view. Grid view is great for sets that use images.

List view works well for sets with longer text.

Set activity – See who's studying right now, who has studied in the past, and who's at the top of the Scatter and Race leader boards.

How to get the preview

If you are using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, click the link at the top of your set page to "Try the new set page." Note: the preview is not yet available in Internet Explorer but will be soon!

Comments

WOW! I am so impressed!
I had tested out the new set page, but not notice ALL these new features! I really like them!
My one complaint (and yes, I did already write you about this in Feedback) is that I really miss seeing the index-looking note cards that you can easily flip through (and also have the option of seeing both sides, term first, or definition first). If you were to add the index-looking note card feature to the set page (surely that can't be too difficult, can it?), I would be so thrilled with your new design!

Yeah same thing like EnlighRose said... the old flashcard page was honestly easier to study with then the new flashcards... any way you can add a config so we can set up sets to have the new or old flashcard design?

@tTaylor_Burns0618 - the "More" button should drop down additional tools, including "Combine", seems like that is not working for you. Could you email me (joanna@quizlet.com) and let me know what web browser you are using, and any additional details about what's not working. Thanks!

It's really good. I like that star cards now work in all modes, and the extra detail of activity is nice. I'm just curious about something; where is the discussion box? It might just be that none of the sets I've been on recently had any comments though, so I will have to look at some more popular ones. Also, the your sets page is no longer glitchy on Kindle Fire; the updating must have temporarily done something to it. Thank you for all you hard work!!!

Wonderful. All features like Most missed terms, Progress tracking, Star a subset of terms, Multiple formatting options, Set activity are all beautifully designed. I congratulate the designers for their innovation.

The biggest thing needed is a way to tag whether or not you got the card right during the study feature or not, and a program to reshuffle in the cards you got wrong while taking out the ones you got right. This is the only feature missing that gflash and others have that are superior.

At first when you updated I was used to the way it was before so I had to re-learn to use quizlet. But now that I know how to use it and where everything is I realize that it is way better and easier than before! PEACE <3 QUIZLET

(1/2) I'm not 100% about the new page. I absolutely agree with alot of what is being said but i also have my own opinion. I think the new page looks a little too busy and overwhelming. i have a little brother in 5th grade that absolutely loves Quizlet, he's passed so many tests because of this site. He wasn't able to navigate through the page as well after it was updated as i think he wanted to, however. i think it would be so much easier if you add the old page and have an option to go to the new page in addition to the old one. Like how you can, on the old page, go from the home with the flashcards to the speller that helps you learn how to spell the cards. It just takes a click or two but the two pages are completely different. I believe that if you had the option of switching back and forth between the old page and the new page it would make Quizlet 100 times better than it already is (witch is a really hard task to achieve).

(2/2) One more thing that i would absolutely love is that if Quizlet was able to be downloaded on to the computer or tablet. My family travels a lot for sports and it would be really helpful to be able to study while were on travel instead of having to write out the words and definitions that are already on the computer. That would mean the world for both my brother and I.

I am a very loyal Quizlet creator. I just wanted to personally tell the staff that they are the reason that i am taking all honors courses this year and that im passing with A's and B's. Both my brother and I absolutely appreciate everything that you do and we both wanted to personally tel you that you are very appreciated.

I think that the new page is... very different from the old one and will take awhile to adjust to. Navigating, as LizLax19 said, is somewhat harder, and as many others have said, the simple lined-notecard on the set page itself will be missed. Otherwise, it looks much sleeker, and I LOVE the new activity page! As well as the general layout of everything.

I love this layout and I have some helpful advice - why not change the plain background into something a bit better...for example, a giant picture of Moses Beacon? No need to thank me, Quizlet, happy to help ;)

I like the new design but 1 question: where did the class discussion box go??? It was really helpful for asking questions about our homework or something. Please bring it back!!!!!!!! Thanks for all you do!!!!!! :)
Quizlet makes it SO easy to study for big tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I really like the new page set on the way it looks. I am sold with the list view. It is like looking at from a book to me. Also,I would like to thank everyone for creating sets I have never created any because I just randomly try to learn stuff off of this website. I am so grateful for the work everyone has done into this website, Users , you rock. Thank you so much.

I am very upset! I just purchased this to be able to embed items into my website but the items won't embed. When I used the Internet Explorer browser I received a message that I could not embed items into a frame due to security considerations but isn't this how MOST EMBEDDING WORKS? When I used Firefox nothing happened or showed up. It will copy and paste but then it disappears and nothing happens.

I liked the old layout better for many reasons. The "index" card look, option to do one language first or not, the student comment box and the side bar list of speller champ/learn mode cp'd and game champions was awesome and helped my students compete.
Like many here, I would love it if you would keep BOTH styles available, but I'm afraid knowing the way things are, our feedback will be in vain and the new site will go live and be the only one available eventually. I've been a member now for over 2 years and as a teacher I LOVE this site.

In Spanish 2 class, I showed the teacher and the class about Quizlet. After the demonstration, they were amazing how easy and great it was. I'm hoping this will increase not just Spanish 2 but other classes that they were having trouble with.

Awesome! Love it :) On the speller/learn/scatter/race/cards pages, could you move the back button back to the far side? It looks better that way. Also, the send your message button for feedback isn't working on most sets

QUIZLET TEAM, HEED ME!!!!!
I POSTED ON THE THING BEFORE THIS BUT I ACCIDENTALY SENT IT TOO SOON.
Please keep the "classic" option on there with the new theme
Some people find the new cards hard to use
I like the new cards, but I want to revert to the old one sometimes
Plus the chat on the set is hard to maneuver
I like the box thing better
But you can keep it the way it is if you like

I love the new design and how it tracks your progress! Although I think you should still keep the old theme because some people might find that easier to use. However I could not find the preview button, that would be useful...

i love the new Quizlet design! it is much more easy to access. i like the way that it tells you what you have got on the score right in front of you. i also like how the options are really big so you don't have to go around looking for them. although it is a little hard to try to access your other sets it is great in all the other things. i also like the way that it tells you if you always got a def. right or wrong that is a good way to be able to keep track on which words you need to study more and which ones you have memorized and don't need to go over anymore. also its a lot easier to navigate which is great. i also like how it highlights the word it is reading and says the words very clearly which is very helpful for people who need the word to be read out loud. over all i like the new format. but one thing i would change is to make the flash cards when who first click on the site a little bigger so they are easier to read. thanks for making this site a whole lot better.

I love being able to sort my sets alphabetically within a class. I wish we could sort them on the "my sets" page. I sometimes need old stuff a year later, and it's really hard digging back for it by timeline.

Also, I know there are a lot more people using Quizlet for many, many different subjects other than language study. Is there any way that we can have the languages default to English/English and then allow people to change them if they are creating a set for foreign language study? It gets annoying after awhile.

I have been trying to create word wall materials for my K-2 class. After I create my sets, I need to print picture vocabulary in strips - FOUR per page. Please see examples on this website:
http://www.dltk-kids.com/type/word-wall-words.htm
Is there a way to do this on Quizlet?
Thank you,
Jamila

I like the new layout and that I can easily star cards. Please consider a smiley face for the ones known, a smirkey (meuh) face for the ones sort of known and a frowny face for the ones not known. The frownies and smirkies can be together in all learn modes, just like the starred cards are treated now. I know you did those faces for the group game, so it's in the coding somewhere. Thanks!

very impressing update! but could you put the list appearance as default for sets with no images because the grid appearance is not very helpful when there is no images but 30-40 terms. Otherwise very helpful to know who and how many people did it and to keep track of what we did.

Y'all should have it were you can take other peoples sets and make it your set, where you can edit their flash cards, and add other stuff to it. Or combine multiply sets, incase your need a set that has 3 or more different kind of things you need to learn. For example I am having a final exam and my friend has note cards with lesson 1, then another set with lesson 2, and lesson 3 in all different note card sets, you should have it where you can add all of them together, so you can study all the material in one set.

I LOVE THIS NEW SET PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! but could Quizlet introduce a new game to study with please? ;) over all i love this site period

I don't like the new set page that much because when I look at it, it looks confusing to me and makes me feel dizzy. I like the current one because it's easy to understand, and the info is all in one place/part of the page, and I don't have to search the entire page to find something. You should try something else...

At first it was a bit confusing, really, but after a while I got used to the new set page. I think it's really nicely organized! I like that we get options in HOW to organize it as well. Also, I love the subcategories! Awesome job :)

I prefer the new set because if fully utilizes the whole browser. With the current version, there was an excessive use of the margins, with less space to focus on the actual vocabulary (in my opinion). I also like that it's a lot simpler, the animations are nice, and the layout is very simple. It's wonderful, and kind of reminds of iOS 7 (without the wireframe icons and transparency). :D

It is a lot easier. However, when I m typing the terms and definitions, I have to type the terms and definitions kind of slow or it will glitch out the word. For instance, if I type a then the space key, it will glitch and put in "ae ". I would appreciate it if they could fix this. Other than that, the new set page is a lot more helpful and useful.

VERY NICE, i did have some problems last week with the embeded quizlets, they would only allow me to see the flashcards,and that was it , but its ok now. umm when will be able to embed the race and quiz??

It would be nice if there's an option to print out sets in several different layouts. I know that this is a web-based tool for studying, but sometimes I want to print out a set and use it for group work, or to study from a hard copy.

I get so many thank you's from my classmates. This website allows all of us to study for our tests. This is a great oppotunity for the people of all schools (Especially Belton New Tech) I have already made over 20 quizlets since the beginng of the school year. I hope the creators know that their website is really awesome.

This is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is great, now i can see everything on one page. And it is also easier, because my teacher gives us a certain amount of words to study over the week and star them, this helps me with that, because this page gives me an option to ether study all the flash cards or the certain amount were studying or the one that are stared. So thank you Quizlet this is a good idea you guys are very creative

I love the new screen it looks better and encourages me to do better that is under the danger area. However it doesn't always place the the wrong term in the right category. for example i can get an answer sometimes wrong 90% of the time and it wont join the danger category but good work.

I like this set page a lot, but what I don't like is that after you've done all the activities, there are white progress charts/markers under everything but the "flashcards" button. It makes the page look incomplete.

AMAZING. I just want to be able to really get in and see how LONG my students are doing something (like scatter/studying) and not just logging in and clicking it. Quia used to do something like this. So if I say "10 minutes on Quizlet" for homework. I can see they did it for 10 minutes, you know?

I am impressed with some of the added features, most missed,never missed. I like the old version of the index cards, I don't like the flip flop part of it, old version is alot more user friendly. I have been asking for a alphabetize option when we begin to edit a set, especially when we combine sets, it would help tremendously with duplicates. I understand that it automatically deletes duplicates. The problem is it doesn't always delete a duplicate if there is a word misspelled, if the definition is slightly different. One more thing some of the sets have incorrect information, and or misspelled words which creates confusion when trying to learn , your mind imprints on the spelling, and when it comes time to testing in school some times the word on the test looks foreign. If your not such a great speller you may think thats the correct spelling right?And we don't have the option which one we want to delete. Overall I love Quizlet it has help our class beyond what I expected.Thank You Q
